Ford Mustang: 1995 Mustang GT 5.0 Dies

    1995 Mustang GT 5.0 Dies

    I have a 95 GT Mustang 5.0 Coupe, and the problem I am having is it
    dies on me spuratically, more often rescently than it used to. What it
    does is I seem to be able to drive it as long as I want to, however if
    I stop somewhere and shut it down for say 5-15 minutes as soon as I
    try and drive it again within usually 2-5 minutes it dies, and will
    not restart for anywhere from 30 seconds too 5 minutes. When it dies
    all electronics keep working within the car, like radio and headlights
    and such, however the engine just dies, completely does not sputter,
    tach drops too 0. and when it does this sometimes only does it one
    time, or can do it multiple times, think it was 8 in a row the other
    night. It can die when at a stop light or between shifting gears while
    rolling usually. The engine is completely stock except for a K&N
    Filter. A friend of mine suggested that it might be a TFI module but
    if I am not mistaken the 95 does not have a distrubuter mounted TFI.
    Not too mention the fact that its $140 for one and thats quite a bit
    of money for a guess. Even the local ford dealers can not tell or will
    not tell me what the problem could be, they say it is a spuratic
    electrical componant problem that they would not be able to find
    unless it where occuring when I brought it in. My best guess is that
    whatever is failing has to be heat related as it only acts up after I
    have stopped and the engine sits for a few minutes, but what is
    failing is where I need help.

    Also could be the fuel filter..

    if it hasn't been changed in a while it would be a good place to start
    anyway.

    If it's ignition related, then one possibility would be the Hall sensor
    inside the distributor. It's a semiconductor device providing crankshaft
    position and rpms to the ECM, which in turn controls ignition timimg by
    signaling the TFI (ignition control module). For starters, verify spark or
    no spark condition when failure occurs (hopefully in your driveway). At
    least you'll know whether or not it's an ignition problem. If no spark,
    the next question would be primary or secondary ignition circuit and go
    from there...

    OTOH, it helps knowing how to debug, along with proper equipment, when
    multiple components that make up a system are suspect, such as the
    ignition system, where for example, the TFI and distributor Hall sensor
    are involved. These are higher ticket items that need proper diagnosing
    and little guess work. In the case of the Hall sensor, the whole
    distributor is usually swapped out. Due to the nature of the problem, you
    may want to consider finding a reputable service center to diagnose/repair
    and be done with it. I state this only because being stalled at an
    intersection during rush hour wouldn't be my favorite waste of time...

    I just had a similar problem. It is hard to hear the fuel pump in these
    cars so I thought it was dead and replaced it. Fuel filter too. Then I
    did spark plugs, distributor cap, rotor, plug wires, ignition control
    module, coil, oil, battery, thermostat (okay just felt like this one, 180
    deg one), and still wasn't fixed. By then the only thing left was the hall
    effect sensor also called the stator. Had that one replaced at the dealer
    for $212 and problem was solved. Mind you, everything except the ignition
    control module, probably needed replaced anyways.

    Check some archives, there are other problems it could be too.

    I have an 86 CV that just started doing the same thing,I replaced the TFI
    but no change aside from running a little better.
    one thing I noticed is after dying out I picked up the hood and was
    looking at this and that when I heard the sound the relays make when the
    key is in the run position,but the key was already in run..
    could this be related to the hall sensor? I'm thinking bad connections
    or ground somewhere

    My 94 GT was doing something similar. It was the Hall Effect Sensor a.k.a
    Stator. Don't know if this is your problem, but it seems to be common.
    Mine had 101,000 on the odom.

    So maybe the relay sound was REALLY the injectors? Hmmmmmm?

    Easy to see if that's it... hook up a timing light. Or listen for the fuel
    pump?

    its starting to look and quack like it,can a bad hall sensor croak a new
    tfi module in under 100 miles? searching around I learned the TFI module
    has control over over those relays,pulling the connector off it made the
    same sounds..
